The correct constraint to ensure that the production of Product 1 does not exceed the production of Product 2 is to directly compare their production quantities. Option D does this by stating that the quantity of Product 1 (X₁) must be less than or equal to the quantity of Product 2 (X₂), which directly enforces the condition without involving any additional variables or complex expressions.
